Coffee stories

April 5, 2013

I am so in love with Bosnian traditional coffee, served in tiny copper pots with long handles (dzezva) usually served in delicate tiny cups (fildzan). It makes me daydream about time machines, coffee simmering over a charcoal brazier, pasha smoking hookah in a courtyard full of roses… But I like how this cafe substituted an espresso cup for the traditional one. The shapes are beautiful together.

Many years ago I was in Turkey during a foreign exhange crisis -so they had no coffee (it was imported). so all the Turkish coffee shops had just tea. This post reminded me how disappointed I was – I had been looking forward to turkish coffee for a year. 🙂
